My oldest daughter, just to make things confusing, is a very popular kid and I'm shocked by how ambivalent I am about that. I talk to her a LOT about being nice to other kids, and I hope that it sinks in.Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953517447164263617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31853698.post-40536366258164803402006-11-22T21:00:00.000-05:002006-11-22T21:00:00.000-05:00Thanks for this, Sin.

Yes, I can relate to the critical relatives and to this day I don't understand how they couldn't see the impact that their comments would have on a young girl. I also have a brother (3 actually). The one in question is 2 1/2 years older than I am and he was ruthless in his teasing about my weight. He mostly called me Lardo.<br /><br />I was fortunate in that I was raised in a single, stable, and mostly accepting community. I had read your post a while back about the bullying you suffered when you moved as a kid and it broke my heart. It cracked again tonight when you wrote about that girl giving you that note.Madhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416585771017767796noreply@blogger.com
